Скачать или смотреть Stevens Model Dockyard Steam Engine Project Progress

Two years ago I was given this steam engine and boiler which had been in the owner's family for at least sixty years, unfortunately the origin was unknown. I scrapped the heavy steel boiler which appeared to be part of a acetylene or oxygen gas bottle, it must have taken ages to get steam up as it weighed about 40 pounds. The engine resembles pictures in Stevens Model Dockyard castings catalogues. Bore 1.978" Stroke 3" Flywheel 8.5" diameter. I can't work out what the heavy cast iron base had been recycled from. However, the fittings definitely resemble Stevens Model Dockyard products. The boiler feed pump was a Stuart Turner hand pump. Work I have done so far = new 1/4" thick brass base plate, repositioned main bearing, new crankshaft, new valve chest, bushed the bronze flywheel hub and broached a 1/8 keyway, skimmed the flywheel rim and painted it. The engine still wheezes a lot and uses a lot of compressed air when running. I would like to improve it so that my Stuart 504 boiler has a chance of driving it.
